Developer Sprint 2@2013

On september 31th till october the 1st the second developer sprint in 2013 took place in Mettmann, Germany.

Up to 5 core-developers joined and hacked the core for a weekend.

Besides bugfixing and layout-optimizations, the team started many new features and reworked some legacy code. Many of those changes will be included in the upcoming 4.3 release.

To highlight a few ones among the changes:

The image-processing API was redesigned and rewritten from scratch. The new API makes use of plugins and provides a batch-processing of manipulations with full caching, boosting the speed of image-manipulation by about 30%.

The portal-editor finally supports drag n drop.

The backend-skin uses a new font, new icons and was was improved in many places.

The work on a new search-engine started. Instead of fireing live-queries with full table scans, the new search will use an index created before. Since the search is still work in progress, it'll be shipped in a future release.
